粤扫黄办密电:文化部最近的查禁名录

1,黄耀明,何韵诗,杜汶泽

2,黄贯中,苏永康,甄妮,黄家强,容祖儿,邓紫棋,梁志健,林夕,潘源良。

第一类属于查禁类,一律不准演出。

第二类属于严控类,必须报文化部市场司才予受理审批。已审批的,也要重新报经市场司批准才准予演出。同时还要沟通演出经济机构,确保不发生“占中”言论,做好现场监管。 [Chinese]

The people listed in this directive are Hong Kong musicians, DJs, and directors who have participated in or voiced support for the ongoing protests for free elections. 47 Hong Kong stars were allegedly blacklisted last month, including actor Chow Yun-fat. Mainland websites were also instructed to delete a story about Chow’s sanguine response to the news.

真Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.
